On this episode of CNA Talks, CNA analysts James "Chip" Coldren and Yee San Su sit down with Guy Bosch
the warden of the correctional facility in Stillwater, MN. They discuss Safer-C, a simulation and planning model

Andy Ilachinski and David Broyles, co-hosts of AI with AI, CNA’s popular podcast on artificial intelligence, have compiled a timely, annotated list of AI developments and resources related to COVID-19.

Agencies have moved quickly to implement a wide range of practices to protect personnel and the public during this
pandemic. Some of these are stopgap measures that will have to be eased as the country eventually returns to normal, or
at least a "new normal."

Prisons and jails throughout the country find themselves in an acute dilemma regarding the coronavirus. With little or
no data to guide them, correctional leaders must make important decisions that will affect the spread of COVID-19 among
their staff and inmates many times each day. CNA’s Institute for Public Research (IPR) is developing a solution to help
fill this knowledge gap.
